Liuzzi angry after disappointing showing
Toro Rosso's Tonio Liuzzi was angry after what he branded as a disappointing qualifying for the Turkish Grand Prix
Italian Liuzzi, who continued to have problems with the handling of his car, wound up down in 19th position after failing to make the first cut.
"A shit qualifying for me which did not go as I had expected," said Liuzzi. "Specifically on my car we seem to have a problem that we cannot solve, which has made things worse.
"I am disappointed because I thought that this weekend we could have been in the top fifteen on the grid."
Teammate Scott Speed was in a better mood after qualifying one place ahead.
"I am not too happy with this result as for some reason there was a big difference between our pace in practice and qualifying," Speed said.
"But the car is still really good and I expect us to have a better race pace. We have good top end speed though and the car is good in the top speed corners. Turn 8 is really special, where you pull 5Gs laterally. It hurts but I love it."
